My Purrfect Gift Box - July*

I apologise this post is up slightly later than I would have liked however since moving house I have been a little pushed for time. My Purrfect Gift Box couldn’t have come at a better time and I was so pleased to see it arrive on my doorstep. As I have mentioned before, I love this box and everything it stands for. I love that when you buy this box a portion of the subscription costs goes to support UK cat charities, rescue centres and animal shelters. So while you are giving to yourself, know you are giving to the cats that need us across the UK.

The first item I received was a My Purrfect Gift Box exclusive. This gorgeous cat themed cheeseboard has been designed and engraved for the boxes in the Isle of Man. The board is sturdy and feels like it is very good quality. I love that its not too big, you can fit this in your picnic hamper. It also comes with a handy butter spreader, perfect for a lovely summers day out. This cheese board retails at £18.95 and was created by Dalewood Craft Designs.

These gorgeous handmade shatterproof champagne flutes were the perfect accompaniment when popping open a bottle of Prosecco the day we got the keys to our house. I love that the flutes are decorated with a ‘MEOW’ decal down the side. They also have indentations so they are easy to hold and re-usable. These are great for celebrating and you don’t have to worry about any broken glass if things get a bit out of hand! Take them along to picnics and festivals where glass is often banned. These flutes retail at £12.50 but you can purchase them for £5.50 on the Purrfect Gift Box Shop, find out more from Govino.

Another fabulous picnic treat is the delicious chutneys and james made right here in the UK in Yorkshire. Labelled up with the Purrfect Gift Box logo I wasn’t sure where they were from but knowing they are fairly local was brilliant news. These chutneys and jams go great with some crackers or bring them along with your cheese board! I tried both of these and thought they were really tasty! These are available from The Fruity Kitchen and retail at £5 for 2.

These fun summer time napkins are great to pop in your picnic hamper or to use at your BBQ’s this summer. I love anything cat related and the design on these napkins is adorable. As napkins go, these really do the job and will brighten up your events and meals. These retail at £2.99.

This month’s box included some lovely cat treats too, so Biscuit was happy! The first item was some Lily’s Kitchen Cat Food. Their organic cat food recipes are nutritious complete meals, grain free and have a very high organic fresh meat content. Biscuit isn’t usually fussy when it comes to food but he really did enjoy this one. I would love to get him some of the other flavours as I love feeding him healthy foods.

This next item is a catnip flower from 4cats which really did smell strong. This toy smelt so strong that I had to shut it away when Biscuit wasn’t playing with it! He really did enjoy this toy, to the point where if I wanted him to come indoors I used this scent to draw him in!

This mini catnip pillow from Cleo & Milo is handmade and adorable. It doesn’t take up too much space, doesn’t smell strong to me but Biscuit loves it and I often find him cuddled up to it at night!

What do you think of this box? Would you buy this for a fellow cat lover?
